Fitting, showroom, fashion show in Frankfurt- The presentation of fashion, new collections and lines is one of the basics of every model. We attach great importance to our models gaining experience on the catwalk at a young age, also through training in posture and choreography. Convince your customers with models from CM.
Influencer marketing and concept
Tiktok and Instagram advertising are playing an increasingly important role for brands. In addition to their own advertisements, it is now almost essential to have their products marketed by influencers. This is why many customers in Frankfurt am Main come back to us for influencer marketing and concepts.
Personal model selection & advice
Our preparation begins long before the booking. We review thousands of model applications throughout the year. In addition, our scouts proactively search for talent on the streets of Cologne who might not have expected to have the right qualifications. This is followed by the first agency appointments, castings and photo shoots to build the portfolio and gain experience – all in preparation for your bookings!
As soon as we receive your booking request, we make a personal selection of models who meet the right requirements for your ideas. Depending on the client, the focus is very different: the desired look, size, clothing size, availability and the location in Europe, America or Asia. We then take over the travel management in the background so that you can concentrate fully on your project.

What does model management do?

Age and start
Are you still at school but want to find out more? Then we have everything you need to know here before you apply to be a model in Frankfurt. The most important thing for you is to get good grades by the time you graduate. At the same time, your model portfolio will be built up. Read more:
Prerequisites
The right dimensions, the optimum weight, the perfect look – there is no such thing. Every brand has its own target group. Parisian fashion brands tend to focus on thin models, in Germany more and more curvy models are being booked and in general: diversity. No matter what your look is like, your first model application is quick and costs nothing. If you want to become a model, give it a try and apply!
Model application: Cover letter and photos
The most important rule is to always keep your cover letter short – it’s best to always use the application form on the website. Why? All the important information is already requested here, so you can’t forget anything, but also don’t invest too much time in your model agency cover letter and your application. Because a renowned and good model agency sometimes receives 50 to 100 applications a day. If there is only one scout in the agency, he only has a few seconds for each application, in addition to the actual agency work. That’s why you need to score points with your photo, not with a long cover letter. You can learn how to do this here: Photos for applications.

Gosee in the model agency
Stage fright increases at every job interview, and of course also at the introduction to the model agency. But you need to know one thing: top agencies like ours and others are super nice! Why? Photo shoots and video shoots are about joy, fun and laughter – almost always. That’s why you need a trustful cooperation with your model management. That’s why you start off friendly from the very first minute and stay that way! That’s why you don’t need to have stage fright, just be natural! Here are some more tips for your interview.
The first shoots and jobs
Becoming a model – Now it’s all about your model portfolio (photos) and your personal development, with your first shoots with good photographers and your first small job. Are you still at school? Then school has absolute priority! Modeling really gets going after you leave school.
International – With our model management you can not only work here in Germany, but also with our local partner agencies throughout Europe(Paris, Milan and London), as well as internationally in cities such as New York, Shanghai or Tokyo.
Castings and waiting times
A not insignificant part of the job consists of waiting times at castings or shoots, which can take place at unusual times. Modeling is not just a nine-to-five job, but that’s exactly what makes it so special! As the models or male models are just one part of a whole team, it is important to adopt a professional attitude to work very quickly in order to be really successful as a model. Punctuality is therefore one of the keys to success. This is especially true for outdoor shoots, where there is often little time to take advantage of the perfect lighting conditions. Discipline and punctuality are something that many German models have been born with, and not just in Frankfurt. Which is why these well-known faces, such as Claudia Schiffer and Heidi Klum, have been in great demand internationally for some time now.
What should not be underestimated in life as a model is the ability to take criticism to heart, but not to lose the fun of the profession due to the frequent rejection during castings. This is because those responsible often already have a precise image of the models for their campaigns in their heads, where even small details can be the deciding factor for rejection. For a successful modeling career, it is therefore a great advantage to build up a network. With contacts to photographers or other people from the fashion industry or advertising, it is easier to be remembered and to be shortlisted for a future project.
Fashion show: Haute Couture & Pret-A-Porter
The fashion show, the dream of thousands of aspiring models all over the world. To walk the catwalk for the big designers. But every beginning is small and the basics of a fashion show have to be right. Everything you need to know about the fashion show process and the difference between prêt-à-porter and haute couture can be found here:

Modeling in Frankfurt am Main
We love Frankfurt am Main! That’s why our model agency is always looking for new faces from FFM. The smallest of all metropolises has been a favorite of ours since we were young, and we are still happy to be there with our model scouts today! Frankfurt is so diverse! Our model agency CM Models is only a few minutes away by car. Anyone who thinks that the many banks have an influence on Frankfurt’s fashion is both right and wrong. Of course, in the metropolis on the Main, just like in London, you can see a whole range of exquisitely but very conservatively dressed ladies and gentlemen. But if you want to see Frankfurt fashion, you don’t go to the banking district, but first and foremost to the Hessen-Center, where fashion shows on a wide variety of themes take place at all times of the year.
Between dream job and reality
The prevailing opinion that a model can earn a lot of money in a very short time and lead a luxurious life only becomes reality for very few models. For the majority of models in Frankfurt or other cities, this profession is a full-time job that leaves little free time or room for other activities. Instead of having their own apartment, most models start their modeling career in a shared flat with other models, which can rarely compete with the standard they are used to at home. Life in these shared flats also involves constantly changing flatmates, so that there is hardly any time to get to know each other better or make deeper friendships. As a model, you travel a lot and have to be prepared for every situation. Take a look at the model basics about traveling, castings and jobs here.
Springboard to an international career between Paris and New York
Once here, the international competition of the most beautiful models from all six continents reaches a new level. Every model who has made it this far has the same goal: to walk at the big fashion weeks and present the latest collections of the most famous designers. Of course, only the models who have achieved this goal with the help of a modeling agency, such as Gigi Hadid, become publicly known. The many unknown faces in the modeling industry are quickly forgotten. What distinguishes these lucky few today is not only their jobs but also the promotion of their own person in social networks. From Instagram to Tiktok, a successful modeling career today involves much more initiative than just photo shoots or catwalk appearances. In the end, however, it is always luck that decides which model people will still remember in 10 or 20 years’ time.
Model jobs: waiting time and professionalism
On the job, a model’s everyday life in Frankfurt often consists of waiting times. For the model, this means sitting still for several minutes or even hours during make-up and styling or waiting for the set to be set up for a shoot. Those who maintain patience here not only behave professionally, but also leave a positive impression on the customer. A model’s appearance is, of course, her own figurehead. It is therefore important for a successful model to appear on set with well-groomed hair, skin and nails. Clients expect this from the models they book, as does the model agency, as each shoot is usually associated with a tight schedule and a precise budget that leaves little room for a new casting. In this respect, everyday life on set has little in common with what casting shows for models convey. After all, what counts in the real working world of a model is not the rating of a jury, but rather that the model fits the respective collection or advertising concept. Being in the right place at the right time is therefore the real catalyst for a long career as a model.
Frankfurt am Main
Shopping in Frankfurt am Main
Of course, you can also attend fashion shows in Frankfurt by designers such as Anja Gockel, who regularly presents her new collections in FFM. The fashion audience here is generally international, as the city is home to the Frankfurt Trade Fair. However, fashion from all over the world is not only on show at the Frankfurt trade fair, but also at events such as the Frankfurt School of Fashion and Clothing, which regularly shows what its young talents have learned. Finally, Frankfurt’s major nightclubs are home to stars and starlets who are perfectly dressed, from feather boas to anklets with real diamonds. Every single visit to a nightclub becomes a fashion show at its best, because in Frankfurt am Main you want to see and be seen at parties.
